The several concerts played at the most prestigious theatres of Genoa during these years (including the opera theatre “Carlo Felice”)
lead to make a CD in order to portrait our woodwind and brass orchestra playing live. Live in Genova comes from some previous recordings
and it collects the most representative pieces played at our main concerts. As always it happens at our concerts, the set up repertoire
includes different genres: from Gazza Ladra classical symphony, through an original band piece such as Spartacus, to Pink Floyd rock music
and Jazz. Showing once again our band versatility, we hope this CD could re-create the typical atmosphere of our concerts.

Genoa was the European Capital of Culture in 2004 and the “Filarmonica Sestrese” contributed to the countless shows which celebrated
the event organising the “1st International Music Festival” for young musicians and woodwind and brass orchestras coming from all over Europe.
The kermess, which brought more than 30 bands to Genoa, ended with the release of this fourth CD: Genova 2004 International Music.
As suggested by the title, this CD highlights the music internationality, zeroing in on style differences between several composers.
This CD contains pieces of composers who comes from eight different countries.

In 2001 it fell Giuseppe Verdi's death centenary and the “Filarmonica Sestrese” commemorated the event with a concert which took place at
“Carlo Felice” opera theatre of Genoa. This third CD, entirely devoted to the great composer who has been the greatest ruler of the Italian
operas for more than 50 years, rises from that concert recordings.

This 2nd release, recorded in studio in 2000, comes out as a New Millennium celebration. The CD repertoire has got its characteristic genres
variety, pointing out what is representative of our woodwind and brass orchestra's true nature: band original songs.
It's interesting to zero in on the comparison between the two original pieces: the more classical G. Holst "First Suite in F" (1909)
and the more contemporary A. Copland "An Outdoor Overture" (1938),which shows the big potentials of this genre.

In 1998 the “Filarmonica Sestrese Woodwind and brass Orchestra” faced for the very first time a CD studio recording experience,
which will be repeated both in studio and live several times. The proposed pieces on this first CD show an expressive essence of the musical
activity of the past years. It should be noted that the band plays several genres: band original songs, transcription of classical
and opera music, soundtracks and musical and pop music, a structure that will be maintained and re-proposed, becoming the main characteristic
of our concerts.
